Luluxiu frowned. He subconsciously looked at the people kneeling on the ground behind him. A complicated emotion flashed in his eyes.
Geass was Luluxiu's biggest trump card when he dared to ascend the throne. It was also his biggest confidence. It was also the foundation for him to stabilize the country after he became the emperor. If he wanted to stabilize the country in the shortest time possible and use the country's power to complete his real plan, the geass he had now was the most indispensable thing. But now, Xiao Ran told him that Charles or Charles's collaborator had something that could remove the geass. This immediately cast a shadow over his heart.
Luluxiu was silent for a moment. Then, he asked in a deep voice, "How many people know about this?"
"I don't know. I don't know anything about the geass eraser. I only know that it exists. After all, I didn't have the means to learn about this country before." Xiao Ran patted Luluxiu's shoulder and said, "Although I don't know, there must be people who know about it. Charles is the best source of information. I'm just telling you this to remind you not to think that you can rest easy just because you have the geass."
"I'll find out from him." Luluxiu nodded silently and said, "The next step is to ascend to the throne. In the end, we still came to this step. Along the way, except for the Black Knights, I feel like I didn't do anything else. So far, although there were some unforeseen events in the middle of the plan, the overall development is still in our favor. We have also achieved our goal. It feels like a dream. Suddenly, everything is within reach."
"Because we have the power to get everything at our fingertips. The fundamental reason why we can do all this is because we have the power that others can't resist. We can ignore all factors that can be crushed with power. This is the reason why we can get to this step so quickly."
Xiao Ran paused for a moment and smiled. "I once had a student, a silly girl. In fact, she had the power to protect herself and make other enemies feel threatened. She could ensure the stability and peace of her country. However, after accepting the help from that power, she always thought that power was the root of all conflicts and wars. She took the initiative to dissolve that power. In the end, her country was occupied and destroyed by other people with power. You are smarter than her. You should know what I'm trying to say."
Luluxiu knew what Xiao Ran was trying to say, but he didn't quite understand why Xiao Ran suddenly changed the topic in this direction. "Great power is indeed a double-edged sword, but in the end, how the power is used still depends on who is holding the sword. So, are you telling me that with power, we can do anything we want? Or are you reminding me that if other people have power that surpasses us one day, they can easily beat us down to the mortal world? But more importantly, the person who has this power isn't me but you. This makes me feel like it's just an illusion. "
"Also, I didn't expect that a scheming person like you would be able to teach a student who doesn't know right from wrong."
"She's just a silly girl." Xiao Ran patted Luluxiu's shoulder again and said, "So, you need to develop a power that truly belongs to you as soon as possible. Be it the Black Knights or your own ability, only then can you avoid the situation of falling to the mortal world. Only with a power that truly belongs to you can change and decide everything. I believe you will have this ability one day."
"Let's wait and see." Luluxiu waved his hand dismissively. Even though he had been strengthened and possessed higher coordination and athletic abilities, he wasn't the kind of person who was good at using his body to move. If he wanted to grow strong enough to crush others, it would be better for him to think about how to unite those who possessed strength by his side.
For example, his good friend Suzaku Suzaku who had super reflexes, athletic abilities, and stamina were also strengthened. Suzaku Suzaku's individual combat ability was several streets ahead of him. In any case, the power that Luluxiu controlled and united around him could also be counted as power that he could use.
Xiao Ran saw through Luluxiu's unnatural and casual expression, but Xiao Ran didn't say much about it. Luluxiu's thoughts were not a problem for him. After all, once all the participants left, the upper limit of this world would be the same. With the silly Suzaku Suzaku, the geass ability, and the Black Knights, Luluxiu definitely wasn't someone that anyone could provoke. Moreover, strength was only relative. Luluxiu was now many times stronger than ordinary people.
Luluxiu looked at the people behind him and said, "It's time for them to leave. Two of you, keep an eye on these people, especially Charles. Don't let anyone get close to them."
These words weren't directed to Xiao Ran, but to the other participants who were protecting Luluxiu as he entered the palace. The participants looked at each other. Two of them walked out under Luluxiu's command and led everyone, including Charles, out of the palace. However, Bismarck and Luciano stayed behind because they had special identities. They were Knights of the Round Table with extremely high prestige in the Britannia Empire, especially Bismarck. Since the two of them were already under his control, it would save him a lot of trouble to let them show their support for Luluxiu's ascension to the throne.
Next, Luluxiu walked up to the high platform that only the Emperor could step on. He stood in front of the throne and stared blankly at the throne. After some time, Schonetzel entered the Hall of Governance. Behind him, countless nobles and important ministers entered the hall. There were even people who were deliberately called to broadcast the event all over the world to carry in a large number of equipment.
Everyone who entered the hall looked at Lu Luxiu, whose back was facing them, with inexplicable fear in their eyes. His luxurious attire seemed to have explained everything. As for the latecomers like Lu Luxiu, they didn't know anything about him at all. However, after the series of rapid and huge changes in the capital, how could the nobles not know about these important officials who had been captured or summoned here?
Before entering the hall, everyone was thoroughly checked and was sternly warned by Schonetzel. Now, there were many participants outside the hall. There were even powerful machines that directly entered the palace to ensure the smooth transfer of power. Now, no one in the hall dared to make the slightest sound. However, they also knew that from this moment on, there would be a huge change in Britannia. Whether to stand on the winning side or the losing side was a question that these people didn't need to consider at all.
Moreover, on the steps of the high platform, the people standing on the left and right sides didn't dare to have any delusions. The First Knight of the Round Table, Bismarck, the mysterious Second Knight, Luluxiu, who almost single-handedly changed the entire war situation in Africa. Luciano, who was known as the Vampire, and Schonetzel, who originally had great power in the Empire. These few people were almost enough to represent the military and political power of the entire Britannia. These people had all expressed their allegiance to the young figure at the top of the steps, so what right did these people have to refuse?
Luluxiu didn't turn around, but when he came back to his senses, he also noticed the situation in the hall. He gently placed his hand on the armrest of the throne and asked softly, "Is it time?"
Schonetzel was probably the first person who wasn't under control and wasn't threatened to truly understand everything, including his identity, position, and so on. He led his subordinates and directly surrendered without hesitation. Of course, it would definitely take some time for this portion of power to completely integrate into Luluxiu's future regime. However, the direct transformation of Britannia from the high-rise buildings inevitably destined this portion of people to become the true pillars of the country in the future.
Schonetzel didn't necessarily have any thoughts about the throne, but that didn't mean he didn't have any. However, if he could truly obtain the space to display his ambitions under Luluxiu's command, after understanding the current situation, continuing to be the prime minister of Britannia could be considered to be in line with his intentions.
After Luluxiu's voice fell, Schonetzel turned to face Luluxiu, bowed with his hands on his chest, and respectfully said, "Revered Majesty, perhaps we still need to wait for a while. The various regions will be making preparations for the ceremony later, and there are still some important personnel who haven't arrived yet."
Luluxiu nodded. Xiao Ran also glanced at Schonetzel's direction, but didn't say anything either. He stood on the steps and closed his eyes to rest.
After waiting for about 10 minutes, the important personnel that Schonetzel spoke of finally appeared in the hall. They stood in the center of the hall, and some of them wore expressions of bewilderment and helplessness. However, there were also quite a few who wore faces of determination, courage, and stubbornness. They stared at Schonetzel and Luluxiu on the steps with expressions of hatred, but even more of them remained silent, weakly silent.
When these people entered, Xiao Ran opened his eyes. Each and every one of them was wearing gold and silver, with cloaks wrapped around their bodies. They were dressed extravagantly. The youngest was only an infant, while the oldest was about 30 years old.
There were also quite a few people who didn't fit in. Even the injured Monica was among them, but she was indeed in a wheelchair pushed in by a green-haired woman. There were 5 or 6 similar people. Apart from the woman who pushed Monica in, the others were all wearing rather ordinary casual clothes.
Schonetzel perhaps noticed Xiao Ran's unfamiliarity and confusion with these people, so he took the initiative to explain, "Your Majesty, all the members of the royal family and the existing Knights of the Round Table have all arrived. At this time, all regions should be ready for your live broadcast, Your Majesty."
These extravagantly dressed people were the members of the royal family of Britannia, but the one who left the deepest impression on Xiao Ran wasn't among them. However, Schonetzel used the existing description of the Knights of the Round Table, so these so-called Knights of the Round Table included former Knights of the Round Table who had retired.
"Everyone's here." Luluxiu shook his luxurious robe with his right hand and slowly turned around to reveal his true appearance to everyone in the grand hall. At the same time, the camera that had been prepared earlier instantly lit up and recorded the entire grand hall and Luluxiu who was at the center of the hall.
Almost no one in the grand hall recognized Luluxiu's existence, but there were a few who did, such as the man who stood in front of the royal family. The moment he saw Luluxiu's lineup, his eyes widened in disbelief. However, he didn't dare to say anything and held back the fear in his heart.
"My name is Luluxiu VI Britannia, the Eleventh Prince of the Britannia Empire."
As soon as this name was mentioned, the attention of most of the people present was not on how this prince, Lu Luxiu, had appeared. Instead, they were looking back and forth between Xiao Ran and Lu Luxiu. The fact that they had the same name made them start to think about the relationship between these two people.
"No matter what you think, my coup against Britannia has ended. My victory is an unquestionable fact."
"From today onwards, I am the ninety-ninth Emperor of Britannia. My will is Britannia's will, and my goal is Britannia's goal."
Luluxiu had used Zero's identity to give many speeches. Frankly speaking, it was very childish and high-spirited. However, as the new Emperor of Britannia, Luluxiu couldn't use Zero's identity to give speeches because Zero and Luluxiu couldn't have any relationship. On the contrary, this made him feel a little uncomfortable. It was as though he couldn't give a long speech for several hours. He could only try his best to act pretentious and create the image of a determined, brave, and decisive victor.
Although he didn't speak for several hours, Luluxiu still spoke for a minute or two. He presented his image as the new generation's overlord to the outside world, and even used words to degrade Charles into a warmongering tyrant who made countless people sacrifice their lives in vain. Because he couldn't stand the sacrifice of his soldiers, he stood up to resist and eventually won many supporters and succeeded. Feeling a little speechless, Luluxiu finally said one sentence.
"I will be the Emperor of Britannia. Who opposes? Who agrees?"
As the last sentence fell, Schonetzel reacted the fastest. He immediately turned around and bowed towards Luluxiu. "We respectfully welcome your ascension to the throne, Your Majesty."
Following Schonetzel's movement, all the Knights of the Round Table on the stairs, led by Xiao Ran, also turned around and bowed. "We respectfully welcome your ascension to the throne, Your Majesty."
Next, Schonetzel's supporters bent their backs. Some of those who couldn't quite accept the current situation also bent their backs under the lead of some fence-sitters. Only a very small number of people straightened their backs and looked at Luluxiu standing on the stage with disdainful gazes.
"What right does a traitor have to become Emperor? Schonetzel, Bismarck, Luziano, Luluxiu, you are all traitors!"
A voice suddenly sounded. Xiao Ran and the others straightened their backs. Luluxiu's face also showed a mocking smile. Bismarck and Luziano, the two people controlled by Geass, slowly walked down the stairs and looked at everyone in the hall with gloomy eyes. "Didn't you hear what His Majesty said? Those who submit will prosper, those who resist will perish. If you don't want to bend, then die …"
